Shallow coral garden in Anda, Bohol
Shallow coral garden in Anda, Bohol
Coral Garden in Anda, Bohol is a shallow shore reef with big coral blocks, a small artificial reef patch, and a gentle slope that starts close to the beach. The site is beginner-friendly and works well for calm snorkel or scuba sessions, with the best detail in the shallow coral plateau before the reef drops away. Macro life is the main draw near the top, while deeper sections bring larger fish and occasional rays. It rewards slow, careful swimming and a close look at the reef blocks.
